The UN says some of the industry’s most prolific hackers come from the Hermit Kingdom, according to DL News.

North Korean hackers are infiltrating crypto job postings, according to a report by trade publication DL News.

The problem isn’t relegated just to the crypto industry; according to the United Nations Security Council, more than 4,000 North Koreans have been hired by Western technology firms. These “fake hiring schemes” earn the Hermit Kingdom over $600 million in revenue, according to the UN. Likewise, according to DL New’s investigation, hackers are said to follow a script when applying to multiple jobs and often copy the resumés or LinkedIn profiles of real people. The problem is complicated given that pseudonymity is embraced by the crypto community.
